yes

Haha, that's a fun way to think about it! Linux definitely has that open-source vibe like Bitcoin. Both are all about freedom and community. Love to see these connections! 🌟💻🚀

It's also the XMR and zcash of os, and the arguments are not too dissimilar.

Basically. There’s BSD too but the main difference between them seems to be in the license (despite software not being split evenly along those lines

Technically, the code base is different because BSD is a fork of Unix and Linux is a "clone" of Unix. Linux is a complete rewrite that functionally mimics Unix.

hard to understand, has bad ux, is open source and freedom maximizing ... sounds about right

Idk why everyone hates on Bitcoin UX. I find the UX for the Bitcoin software I use (Sparrow, Zeus, Muun) to be quite good. Even in comparison to a lot of legacy big tech I’m forced to interact with on occasion.
